About Us

MEET FRAN AND MANDY

Fran is a native of Augusta, GA. She left home for Appalachian State, met her husband and never left NC 😊They reside in Raleigh with their 3 boys and 3 rescue dogs. Mandy was born and raised in Tarboro, NC and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. Her family of 2 boys and 2 golden retrievers, now call Winston-Salem, NC home.

Our paths crossed over 10 years ago, as we became friends first, and then business partners. What started out as a vintage furniture business (formerly known as Polished Picks) has slowly evolved into a love language of creating BEAUTIFUL yet FUNCTIONAL spaces. 

We both love a good glass of wine, pretty dresses and are always searching for the newest fabric, lamp or other home decor item. Having been on an online platform for over 10 years, we have followed industry trends, emerging artists, answered countless design questions and more. 

With 5 boys (7 if you count our husbands) and 5 dogs between us, we understand the need to create a beautiful yet functional space. While our weakness is pillows and showstopping lamps, you won't find that in our teenage boys rooms. But, you still will find a carefully curated space, that if you ignore the laundry on the floor, still brings us joy. Our hope in this niche market, is to make decorating as easy as possible, as long as you are willing to put in a little elbow grease. 

We want everyone to love their home within their budget and we can help you do just that. As we like to say, MAXIMUM style, MANAGEABLE budget.
